Feedback

This one is from Aaron Nelson aka SQLVariant:

I have a PowerShell question for you gurus. I know precisely how to do this in SQL, but Iâ€™m only kinda-sure how to do this in PowerShell.

My question is how do you contain an OR to only a certain portion of a Where-Object? In SQL all you have to do is put parens around the clauses and that will make their results act as one â€˜whereâ€™ clause. In PowerShell all I could think to do is to break it up into multiple Where-Object statements. There has to be a better way to do this right?
